CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com In 2001, jazz pianist and bassist and Uri Caine and Christian McBride teamed up with drummer Ahmir ?uestlove Thompson of the Roots. They created the Philadelphia Experiment, a jazzy shout-out to the City of Brotherly Love. This time around, the fabulous Philly remixer King Britt, who has worked with Tori Amos, Mary Wilson, and Macy Gray, rhythmically reincarnates the original tracks with club-friendly dance beats. Along with Britt's trip-hop textured "The Miles Hit (King Britt Scuba Remix)," the CD also features some fancy, funky, and futuristic retakes by several of Philly's finest DJs. The grooves range from the techno-tempoed "(Re)Moved" and Paul Edward's eerie, echoplexed bass lines on "The Orange Line" to the salsoul swing of the new track, "Grover III (The Theme to Massagejawn.com)" by ?uestlove (as the Randy Watson Experience). With their inventive use of special effects and synthesizers, remixers like King Britt have added jazz-like innovations to electronica-based pop music. --Eugene Holley Jr. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA Good CD Just Got Better dOc | Atlanta, GA | 09/03/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "I have been hearing for awhile that this CD was in the process of being remixed. By whom and in what format, I wasn't sure of. Not until a couple of weeks ago, I found out King Britt was behind this......and that's enough for me to get this with out hearing a track. Broken beats, eletronic thumps, phat beats galore and the Philly Experiment blended and smothered nicely to make this a great nu-jazz/acid jazz (I hate labels) vibe. Seriously, there isn't a weak or bad track on this CD to be found. Up-tempo, down-tempo, a head nod magnet is what your getting when you purchase this gem. King Britt & company continues to provide ear candy.tracks: 01) Miles Hit (Rob Life Mix) (*) 02) Broad and Cecil B.

Elegance | France | 03/20/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I love King Britt for his eclectic sounds in electronic (hip-hop, acid jazz, funk, deep house...) and I find this album pretty good and enough original. I can't really describe the style of electronic music in this philadelphia experiment remixed. Downtempo, future jazz, broken beats and some deep ambiances...and one thing is sure: this album makes you imagine.All tracks are good, particulary the tracks 1,3,5 (scuba remix),9 (obafunke remix) and 15 (bikter duplaix remix).
If you like king britt, you can't be disappointed. If you want to discover electronic music, buy something a bit less abstract" |
